Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, roasted and unsalted sliced almonds, cacao nibs, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, diced half mango; water. Rode Muni to UCSF Mission Bay. Picked up new eyeglasses from Nate and Ben; they seem to fit and work perfectly. Commisserated with Eric about IT's handling of the Teams problems we've been encountering. Spent several hours trying to get Microsoft Word to create mail merge email messages for the Strategic Plan Retreat headshot photos distribution and failed. For reasons I did not understand, it failed to see the email address field or column from my spreadsheet, so I was unable to correctly specify the To field in the finish. So frustrating. I gave up and mailed my 28 messages manually, which also took several hours. Eric discovered that turning off the intrusion prevention option called Vulnerability Protection in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) resolves all the problems in Teams and Office apps. Lunch to go from Poke Life with Eric. We encountered Michelle A and chatted briefly about the challenges of virtual meetings with international participants. Uploaded a video proof of the SEP discovery to YouTube, then shared it where needed. Strategic Plan Retreat headshot photos distribution followup. Dinner at home with Patrick: Guerra's chicken tamales with refried beans and side salad, water, red wine. We watched Hasan Minhaj's opening monologue and clips from Everything, Everywhere, All at Once's wins at the 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards on YouTube.
